it's for sale... The GSX-R1100.

[sen]

This has been one of the most painful decisions i've ever made... but my cancer battle continues, and riding has become really really tough. I can't ride for more than half hour without my leg seizing up then needing 2 days rest until I can walk properly again... so i'm winding down the riding.

I'm keeping the busa for a while long because it's been my dream bike since they first came out, and I want to stare at it and fap occasionally... but i'm selling the gixxer and the ninja and most my gear. Busa will also get sold when the leg completely gives out.

So, first up on the block:

Chase's old GSX-R1100 streetfighter. I doubt it needs any introduction.

It has just run out of rego this week (I think, i'll check). It needs nothing to re-rego, starts perfectly, purrs like an angry bengal tiger, and rides beautifully.

I'm willing to part with it for $4500 as-is with the ShowyoMoto mask etc, or $4k flat with the old lights on it and i'll keep the mask to wear on Halloween parties.

Plates do not come with it. They're being nailed to my wall so I can stare at them and drown my sorrows with cheap vodka.

No tyre kickers, no low balling. I need the money for medical crap and I really REALLY don't want to even sell it, but I have no choice. It deserves to be ridden (hard), not covered in a garage collecting dust.

As it sits right now:

"Busa will also get sold when the leg completely gives out." Why not turn this into a badarse trike?

I've considered something like that but to be honest i'll probably just end up buying a cage. I might keep the busa just for the very-occasional "i don't care if this hurts i'm gunna do it anyway" ride... but see how I go.

For now just going to sell off the other bikes & gear and put some money into physio/rehab to try get a bit more mobile.

[Fight_fan]

This sux balls mate! Sorry to hear it... Hope things start lookin up for ya soon buddy!

[K6Thou]

Shit dude its fucked when you have to give up something you love because of something you hate......

Good luck with the sale mate.

[K6Thou]

Mate I just applied for the finance (shouldn't be any worries getting it nothing owing etc) to buy your bike but the fucking bank will take two days to get back to me, can you consider it sold until then ???


Thanks,

Dan.

[sen]

Thanks for the kind words guys. It's an on-going battle for the last year that has just taken a turn for the worse in the last few months. I've got a few years left in me yet though.


Dan: I'm not in a rush... happy to let you have "first offer" if anyone else wants it in the next few days, and hold them off til you say yes/no.

[K6Thou]

Thanks mate.


Its appreciated....

Sorry to hear about it Sen, I hope you stay mobile at least and yeah i can completely relate to wearing the mask & fapping to the 'busa on weekends.

Can someone link me to a build thread / or give me basic running-gear specs on the bike? (Been after a decent gixx 7/11 for a while now) Also whereabouts is the bike located? I cant quite make out the plate
